DlPPER-HANDLE MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part'of Letters Patent No. 412,289, dated October8, 1889.V

Application tiled May 23, 1889.

To @ZZ whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, .IUHN A. OLEARY, a citizen of the United States,residing at Decatur, county of Van Buren, State of Michigan, haveinvented a new and useful Dipper- Handle Machine, of which the followingis Aa specification.

This invention has for its object the following described and claimedmachine for forining clipper-handles.

In the drawings forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 is a planView; Fig. 2, a section on line et a in Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 is a sectionon line 2 2 in Fig. 1, showing the operation of forming the handle.

Referring to the lettered parts of the drawings, A is the block to whichthe hearings S of the shaft B are attached. The shaft B is tapered likethe shape of a dipper-handle, and is provided with a channel e, intowhich one edge of the tin from which the handle is made is inserted. Thehandle is then formed into a roll by turning the crank C and revolvingthe shaft in a direction to roll the tin between the shaft B and block Aand around the shaft, as at t in Fig. 3. The handle is detached bymoving the shaft to the right and detaching the small end from its loopor hearing, and then pulling the handle o the small end. The edge of thetin which was in the channel e is left projecting inwardly toward thecenter of the handle, as seen in Fig. 3, and this makes the handlestiffer.

Serial No. 311,787. (No model.)

It is preferred that the loops S shall he adj ustahle, so as to hequickly adapted to different-sized shafts. The loops are in the form ofa staple, with one end extended through the block A, and threaded andprovided with a nut I), Fig. 2. By screwing the nuts farther on or off,the loops can he raised or lowered. The shaft may be mounted on a tableor bench, and the block A may serve to illustrate this.

At fz in Fig. 1 is a stop to limit the distance the shaft B can heinserted in the loops, so as to prevent being wedged therein.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patent of the United States, is-

A dipper handle -forming machine coniprising a suitable hase, theadjustable hearing-loops extended through the base and provided with adjListing-nuts, the tapered and longitudinallychanneled shaft detachablyconned hy said bearingdoops, and a stop at the end of said shaft,substantially as set forth.

In testimony of the foregoing I have hereunto subscribed my naine inpresence of two witnesses` JOHN A. OLEARY.
